Three Midland men were arrested Saturday on drug possession charges, and one of them was charged with possession in a corrections facility after a traffic stop in central Midland, according to their arrest affidavits.

Nakomas D. Sauls, 17, was being held on bonds totaling $15,000 for a state felony charge of possession of a controlled substance less than 1 gram and two third-degree felony charges, including possession of a controlled substance greater than 1 gram but less than 4 grams and possession of a prohibited substance in a corrections facility.

Davorrin D. McAfee, 19, and Derrick D. Price, 20, are being held on state felony charges of possession of a controlled substance less than 1 gram. Each of their bonds is set at $5,000.

A police officer pulled over a vehicle for failure to stop at about 9:34 p.m. Saturday in the 800 block of East Indiana Avenue.

The officer searched the vehicle after the occupants -- later identified as Sauls, McAfee and Price -- failed to present identification. During the search, the officer found small crumbs of marijuana on the floorboard and traces of crack cocaine in the rear passenger seat on the driver side, according to the arrest reports.

The men were arrested and transported to the detention center. While doing a body search, jail staff found a clear plastic bag containing about 1.4 grams of crack cocaine in Sauls’ anal cavity. The arresting officer then charged Sauls with additional crimes, according to the report.

If convicted, Sauls could face up to 10 years in prison for each third-degree felony charge and up to two years for the state felony charge. McAfee and Price also could face up to two years in prison.
